What is stalker gamma and anomaly?

[Gunsaremagic]

Same thing or two different games? or a mod for anomaly?

[PsyWarVeteran]

Two extremely overhyped mods.

Fun only for a day or so, it's just glorified fetch quests over and over.

I just did a bunch of research on this I am ready.

So basically, a mod called Call of Chernobyl which (in short) created its own map that included all the areas from all 3 of the games. This was basically a sandbox map where ppl began modding into that mod to create a whole new experience with the massive map, but no Vanilla game story.

Then, someone made another mod for Call of Pripyat called Misery, which basically made Call of Pripyat hardcore and added a bunch of features. The idea was to combine these two mods to create a whole new game.

Over the years the God Baby was born called Anomaly, which is these two mods combined to make one new game that anyone can download for free without owning any of the games.

GAMMA is collection of specifically picked mods for Anomaly creating a whole different experiences. (because STALKER community is insane and basically built a new game to be modded)

Long story short, Anomaly is Call of Prip and Misery combined to make basically a new game.
And GAMMA is a modpack for Anomaly basically modding the new game.

Anomaly Is a Standalone mod that has all the maps from the 3 games. Gamma is the Partial conversion mod for Anomaly. Mods of mods of mods.

its more a sandbox game than the actual titles. It's fun if you just want to roleplay as a specific faction and explore. It lacks direction and story because that's the point. I'd say its just if you wanted more of the zone without playing the original games.

There is nothing exciting about roaming around aimlessly, doing busywork. Handcrafted quests will always beat dime-a-dozen "carry this bread across six maps and give it to this guy" type of borefests.

To each their own. I just like playing as a Merc and doing contracts to come back to HQ and have a smoke and eat week old bread.

See, you're roleplaying. The mod has nothing much to offer, you're viewing it as it is. For example "doing contracts to come back to HQ and have a smoke and eat week old bread". You know what this really is without romanticizing it?

You're saying you took "go here kill this person" fetch quests, returned to the base, opened up the inventory, double clicked to cigarettes and bread, that's it. The whole mod is barebones roaming around and doing randomly generated busywork.

Ok and? I find it fun personally and so do a lot of other people. If you don't find that fun then so be it. Plus I play it heavily modded that adds animations and what not for consumption of items. Also I never said it's necessarily better than the original titles. I think it's own separate experience with it's own merits and flaws. I really enjoy COP vanilla and it's excellent quest design and definitely prefer it's quests over Anomaly, but I prefer to just treat them as entirely separate games trying to achieve different experiences for the player.

You replied to me, remember? Saying "it's fun if you want to roleplay and explore" and I'm saying no, it's not, it's extremely boring. That's all. Your opinion is fine but mine isn't?

So I'm not allowed to disagree? I wasn't saying your wrong or that your opinion was invalid. I was disagreeing and providing discussion which is the whole point of a forum thread.
